>how to write decent prose
think of prose as your language and your form of expression. While reading books is important, after all is learning how to express yourself, i think you should also identify how you wanna express yourself.
Reading all the books in the world wont matter if you just try to emulate prose, or if your prose is stiff and robotic. Try and inject your creativity on it even if you feel like its to the detriment of the "quality"

A visual aid i can offer you its Bleach. Kubo talked about how he avoided drawing backgrounds when a character had their big moment/their reveal because he felt like drawing eyes away from the moment lessened the blow.

Technically, not drawing a background is a mistake, but conceptually it makes sense. It looks cool!

Do the same. Find ways in which your prose speaks, and polish them until people go "oh that's deliberate! that's cool! i get it!"
